No plastic screens that don't meet the floor and end at head height. No, beautiful solid wood doors, with locks that work, unlike most public loos.<BR/>Loos and basins all splendidly clean, and roller towels that hadn't come to an end and collapsed in a soggy mass on the floor.<BR/>Clearly a superior kind of person uses these loos! <BR/>I have to admit I didn't notice whether there were plugs on the basins.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-17904252832723327552008-07-23T14:52:00.000+01:002008-07-23T14:52:00.000+01:00What sort of planet are we on where an MP believes...What sort of planet are we on where an MP believes he needs to ask a parliamentary question to get a new plug fitted (rather than either calling building services himself or actually going out and buying one)?<BR/><BR/>But good to see you are concentrating on the burning issues of the day, Dizzy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-14554367722657370142008-07-23T14:36:00.000+01:002008-07-23T14:36:00.000+01:00Useless trivia moment:The Pentagon has roughly dou...Useless trivia moment:<BR/><BR/>The Pentagon has roughly double the number of toilets necessary for their workforce as the building was constructed when racial segregation was still in place.<BR/><BR/>When it was opened though, that policy was overturned - but they kept all the loos intact anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-23685893950862171952008-07-23T14:35:00.000+01:002008-07-23T14:35:00.000+01:00Just as well they didn't need four candles.Just as well they didn't need four candles.Obnoxio The Clownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12012089552153702526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-41960502930843443382008-07-23T14:24:00.000+01:002008-07-23T14:24:00.000+01:00I'm not sure that many UNESCO World Heritage s...I'm not sure that many UNESCO World Heritage sites source their materials from B&Q but hey ho. <BR/><BR/>[Btw, nothing seems to happen when I clicked on "About".
